TOGETHER AT THE TABLE:
HUNGER & POVERTY SUMMIT
OCTOBER 2 - 4, 2019
The summit brings together 400-500 people from across the country and from different sectors for three days of focused learning on Baylor’s campus. Through plenary and breakout sessions, attendees will learn about the latest developments in public policy, effective community organizing strategies, and cutting-edge research. We hope you’ll join us to learn about innovative practices, hear from different perspectives, and connect with others working to find solutions to hunger and poverty.
